2005 accord is a 2025 civic class wise
Yep, model inflation. I have an early 2000s Accord and it's smaller than most Civics I see on the road, and with fewer features than a base model Civic.

THIS. The ARIYA is the first EV they've widely released (last year) with any active thermal management. I live in AZ, and all my friends with Leaf's all have had to have their batteries replaced at least once.
All my Chevy based EV/PHEVs have had great battery life (so far) - knock on wood.
I'm also in AZ. What's surprising to me is I get slightly better range in the summer months.

How can I get my Nissan Leaf to read this paper? Its range has dropped to 50% of new and a refurbished replacement pack cost 150% the value of the car, which is in otherwise excellent condition. It has only 70k miles.

Fwiw have on good sourcing that OpenAI supplies Tesseract output to the LLM, so you're in a great place, best of all worlds
At inference time or during training?
The Creative Labs sound cards of the early 90's came with Dr. Sbaitso, an app demoing their text-to-speech engine by pretending to an AI psychologist. Someone needs to remake that!
Levels is making something like that.

I would really want it to have that Dr. Sbaitso voice, though, telling me how to be fitter, happier, more productive.

Who's writing sci-fi today that we will look back on as predictive?
IMO the RNN is overkill of this problem, compared to a simple and elegant algorithm called "$1 unistroke recognizer". That one works beautifully even when trained with just a single sample of each gesture.
I hope $1 unistroke gets more recognition because it can be integrated in an afternoon into any project to add gesture recognition and make the UI more friendly.
It works quite reliably for palm style "Graffiti" text entry, as long as each letter is just a single stroke. The original paper also makes great effort to be readable and understandable.
I implemented that in Objective-C when the iPhone was new-ish. It was a fun demo on a touch screen. It was surprising how well it worked for how simple it was.

“Immediate spending for dubious potential lower inflation in the future, probably, we hope, act” doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Side note, congress should be banned from adding biased names or acryonyms to bills. Just explain it. If the acronym spells something cute, try again.
Names of bills should be given by a GPT that reads the bill and the CBO analysis of the bill.

I was curious about the numbers that other tech companies may employ as a comparison... from some cursory googling:
* Meta: 71,970 [2021]
* Apple: 164,000 [2022]
* Amazon: 1,298,000 [2020]
* Netflix: 11,300 [2021]
* Alphabet: 156,500 [2021]
* Microsoft: 221,000 [2021]
* The New York Times: 5000 [2021]
* Fox Corporation: 9000 [2020]
* Reddit: 700 [2021]
(Anyone else I should add?)
I can't really find any trends. I think Reddit is an outlier, and my impression is having only 3750 employees would probably put Twitter on the smaller end of the scale too.
